Install the license

Contributors netapp-ahibbard netapp-thomi

A VE license entitles you to use the feature on all nodes in the cluster. You must install the license before you can encrypt data with NVE.

Before you begin
  • You must be a cluster administrator to perform this task.

  • You must have received the VE license key from your sales representative.

Steps
  1. Install the VE license for a node:

    system license add -license-code license_key

    The following command installs the license with the key AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

    cluster1::> system license add -license-code AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  2. Verify that the license is installed by displaying all the licenses on the cluster:

    system license show

    For complete command syntax, see the man page for the command.

    The following command displays all the licenses on cluster1:

    cluster1::> system license show

    The VE license package name is VE.
